And why does it do that????
Not too often with my current windlass, many times with the deceased one.
I am just guessing speed of pull, the geometry of all components and some lack of vertical drop....
But in reality, I have studied it carefully read many ideas, went ahead and grooved my roller, tried all but deep water untwisting but carefully did it by hand at the dock.....
So I don't really know and now after all the effort don't care.
I have written my theory on swivels in my use and now life is fine. Sure I would love to figure my issue out...but other things in life have higher priorities and I see the swivel as 0.001 percent threat. I see many more greater threats to my anchoring safety than the swivel.
If I lived at anchor without many options for minimal anchoring stress, I might feel differently.
